I think you'll find most breeders will only sell started chicks in smaller quantities, however they need to be shipped Express, which is more costly. Selling day old chicks in small quantities is just too risky for shipment. We use a minimum of 15 for our day old chicks and have found it works successfully, however much less and they too cold in shipping due to lack of body heat.

Quote:I can ship in small quantities. PM me and tell me what you are looking for. Overnight Express shipping for a small quantity is running about $38.00. I don't trust anything slower, especially with day olds.

ideal also does small orders. you can have your order packed with males for warmth or pay a surcharge to have them shipped alone, i got 8 silkie bantams from them, they arrived healthy and hearty, now two weeks old and doing beautifully!
